Tips and tricks for uterosacral ligament suspension: how to avoid ureteral injury.
Article in International urogynecology journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07413861 (Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
introduction and hypothesisUterosacral ligament (USL) suspension is an effective and versatile surgical technique for repairing pelvic organ prolapse. However, ureteral injury is a feared complication that may act as a significant deterrent to the use of USL suspension. The aim of the video is to provide key steps to minimize the risk of ureteral injury while achieving successful transvaginal USL suspension.
methodsThe featured video provides a series of surgical tips and tricks that can be applied to protect the ureters while achieving USL suspension whether the procedure contemplated is vaginal hysterectomy, vaginal vault repair after hysterectomy, or hysteropexy.
resultsThe tips and tricks are classified into four categories: identification of the USLs, identification of the ureters, passage of the sutures, and final measures.
conclusionsThe USL suspension technique requires adequate surgical training and an understanding of pelvic anatomy. This tips and tricks video tutorial may be an important tool for improving surgical know-how, and thus for reducing the risk of ureteral injury. In particular, identification of the USLs and ureters, proper suture positioning and final cystoscopy are key points to minimize ureteral damage.
